Hello all!

I recently stumbled on someone who has an abundance of 65 mm short ends, long ends, and recans from Christopher Nolan‘s recent production, and thought I would see if I can get one of these rolls and split it up into 100 foot and 50 foot chunks for those that want to use it, but don’t want to buy an entire can of the stuff.

At the moment I’m looking at getting either 50D or 250D, it just depends on what they have.

This film can be used in 70mm film backs, BUT modifications may be necessary with some backs, and 65mm spools for 70mm cassettes, which can be bought from Mercury Works, or I can send some 3D models if asked.

This film also works well in 616/116 cameras, you just need to spool it onto backing paper.

This film cannot be put into 120/220 spools as-is, it must be trimmed to 61mm. If you would like to see how you can make MF film for yourself, there’s a link to a thread where I talk about it in my signature.

I already have about 100 rolls of 120 to make this winter break, so I will not be selling premade medium format rolls since it takes a large amount of time and effort. Splitting up a bulk roll is relatively easy though.

I am hoping to keep the cost around $80 for 50 feet, and $160 for 100 feet, but this might go up or down a bit, I’m still talking to the seller and trying to figure out if this is even viable.

I don’t have a timeline at the moment, although hopefully it would be ready to ship sometime in January, similar to the Astrum film.

If you guys have any questions, definitely feel free to ask.

Gonna throw a reply on here because I've got a big bag of empty 120 spools for exactly this kind of find
